Chapter 659: The torn pants are wrapped around my legs and I can’t get rid of them!
"Hey! People say that rich people are the most heartless. I just found out today that this is true!"
The burly man spoke first, looking like he was being beaten.
The woman carrying the basket also yelled at the top of her lungs: "That's right, you are really evil! This little girl is so pitiful that she wants to sell herself to be buried by her father."
"You also said you would help, but why did you change your mind at the last minute? Isn't this forcing this little girl to die?!"
At the market, the most common people are idlers.
Especially at this time, women and mothers-in-law buying vegetables from various families, craftsmen after work, etc., heard that there was a commotion here, and they all came together.
With a few words, this place has been surrounded by three levels inside and three outside.
Now, if Lu Zong wanted to drag Jia Xu out, it would be even more impossible.
Lu Zong instinctively felt bad and frowned slightly.
Jia Xu, however, was somewhat bookish and continued to explain to those people, "You have misunderstood. As we were passing by, this girl suddenly grabbed my robe and begged me to buy her for my father's burial.
“I said I would give her money and let her bury her father and then continue to look for relatives without being a slave to me, but she refused..."
What he said was true, but the woman holding the basket had squinting eyes and spoke nonsense.
"Oh, how could there be a wicked person like you who bought someone else's girl and didn't want her to follow her! Then what has become of this girl? She broke her promise? How will she behave in the future?
"She is a girl and has become yours, and you don't want her. She can't get married! This slave is not a slave, and her innocent body is not her innocent body. How will she live in the future?"
"You said, if you didn't force her to death, what were you doing?"
The girl in white started to cry at the right moment, mourning so deeply that it made people feel particularly sad.
She begged in a low voice, "Oh, sir, my father is dead and I am all alone and don't know where to go. You bought me and helped me bury my father, and I am yours!"
"Please don't think I'm ugly, just accept me! I'm willing to be a cow or a horse to repay the young master for his great kindness!"
“Woo, if the master doesn’t want me, I can only...have no choice but to follow my father!”
After she finished speaking, she knocked her head to the ground and cried even more miserably.
At this time, the white-bearded old man spoke, as if persuading Jia Xu, "Master, saving one life is worse than building a seven-level pagoda. I see that you are also born into a wealthy family. There should be no shortage of slaves like this in your family. How about you?" Just give her a place to stay.
"Even if the young master takes her away temporarily, it will be fine when he finds a suitable place and then puts her down."
The people watching the excitement from the back are not afraid of serious trouble at all.
Seeing the frail and beautiful woman kneeling on the ground, the rich and handsome Jia Xu, who was sweating anxiously, started to boo and started shouting.
“How many bowls of rice can a woman eat, and how many bowls of rice can she receive at home?”
“That’s right, if you don’t want it, just give it to me. It just so happens that I don’t have a wife!”
“No, I don’t have a wife either, so give it to me and keep the quilt warm at night, it’s beautiful just thinking about it!”
The people spoke more and more unpleasantly, which made the woman shrink her shoulders and cry more and more sadly.
The beads of sweat on Jia Xu's forehead were pattering down.
This situation is much more difficult than writing an article.
He has been reading since he was a child, and has as many as 800 books, if not a thousand, but none of them tells him how to deal with such a situation!
Lu Zong's face was dark. Although he didn't know what was wrong, he vaguely guessed that they had fallen into a trap and were now being roasted on the fire!
If you don't care about this woman, then you will force her to die!
If they take this woman with them, it is obvious that this woman is a troublesome person, and they don’t know the root cause. Maybe there will be even greater disasters waiting for them in the future! He was upset and irritable for a moment, and wanted to summon his followers to wipe out all the evil people who plotted against him.
But his reason told him that he couldn't do this.
After weighing it again and again, he looked at the three brothers of the Li family and asked in a low voice: "Brother Li, what should I do?"
Jiaren has been watching with his younger brothers, and also had some discussions in low voices.
Seeing Lu Zong asking for help, he took a step forward, held up his hands and said to everyone: "Dear fellow villagers, this is our first time coming to the treasure land. As soon as we walked to the market, my friend was suddenly pulled away. robe.
"It stands to reason that my friend has a kind heart. He heard that this girl was in trouble and was willing to help with money. This is a good talk no matter what, isn't it?"
Everyone nodded, this is correct.
These days, everyone is cleaning up their own troubles and is willing to donate generously. There are really not many people who help others.
Jiaren changed the subject and added: "But this girl, after receiving help, not only did not rush to bury her father, nor was she worried about the stench of his father's body, but she pestered my friend and insisted on following her. This is a bit strange."
He then looked at the old men, men and women and asked: "We didn't speak loudly here, but you suddenly appeared. When you came up, you said that we were desperate to save you, and you kept forcing us to take this girl with us.
“Can I ask, do you know this girl? Otherwise, why would you be so ignorant?”
"Nonsense!" the woman scolded, angrily: "We are just passing by, we just can't stand it. If you say a few more words, why do you think I'm a bad person?"
“That’s right, who knows you? It’s like we’re plotting against you!” The man also said in a low voice, very disdainful.
The old man sighed and shook his head, looking disappointed, "The world is deteriorating. Nowadays, good people can't do anything good, and they can't even say fair words!"
Seeing this, the people on the periphery were deceived and shouted.
"If you don't want to save people, forget it, but don't accuse them unjustly."
“That’s right, the folks in our hometown are all good people, but we don’t have those twists and turns!”
Jiaren did not want to argue with them, so he continued: "Well, since the villagers are willing to vouch for these people, let us believe that they have nothing to do with this girl.
"But my friend's family is an official, and not everyone can be taken as a slave. Since this girl is wholeheartedly following her, is it okay if we ask a few questions?"
Everyone looked at each other and said nothing.
Jiaren didn't really want to wait for their permission. He turned to the woman and asked, "You said that you and your father were in trouble, your money was stolen by a thief, and your father died of illness for many days, right?"
The girl nodded and wanted to speak, but Jiaren had already taken the lead.
“Then tell me, your father’s exposed feet are so dirty, which shows that he suffered before his death.
"But the skirt you are wearing is made of fine jade silk, and your hands and face are not dirty at all. It is obvious that you are in good health, and you don't look like you are in distress at all?"
The woman lowered her head, her eyes rolled around, her hands subconsciously pulled her sleeves, and said: "My father loves me very much, and he is not willing to let me suffer even if I am in trouble..."
"Okay, even if your father loves you. But if you send Yun Ling's dress to a **** shop, you can still get five taels of silver, which is enough to buy a coffin. Why do you want to sell your body to bury your father?" Jiaren asked reluctantly.
The woman became more and more panicked and whispered: "I only have this set of clothes. If it is pawned, I have nothing to replace it with."
